List of New Courses Developed:

1. EECS 411: Microwave Circuits.

A Senior/Graduate level course on microwave circuits. The students build and test 0.5-4 GHz microwave circuits such as couplers, filters, mixers and low noise amplifiers. Equipped a lab and bought the equipment. Designed the six experiments and implemented the hardware and software support. Received a $50K donation from AT&T, a $415K donation from HP, and a $240K donation from NSF for the development of this course.

2. EECS 730: Seminars on Terahertz Technology.

Organized a one-credit graduate seminar course on terahertz technology with emphasis on integrated front-end technologies (mixers, multipliers, antennas, quasi-optics, measurement systems, etc.). The course was attended by 40 graduate students. Several prominent professors and researchers were invited to present seminars on their research activities. The course was part of the NASA-Center for Space Terahertz Technology and introduced the graduate student body and the faculty to this new frequency regime of high importance to NASA.

3. EECS 499: Senior Projects Course.

During Winter 1995, I worked with 36 EECS 499 undergraduate students to build 10 robots for the Jerry Sanders National Semiconductor Crater Contest competition at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. The robots were all built here at UoM and around 55 students went to Illinois. We worked very hard and slept at 2-3 AM every night in the last week of the project. The competition went very well and we got 3rd Place. We also got the "Best Microcontroller Use" Award. Another competition was organized here in the EECS Atrium and it attracted a large number of "young" EECS students (also some faculty too!). It was great fun!!

4. EECS 210: Electrical Engineering I.

A first-term Sophomore level course covering the basics of Electrical Engineering. Designed the course and the accompanying lab manual. Bought and installed the equipment from HP. The students build all the components needed for a hi-fi audio amplifier such as the power amplifier, the treble/bass control, the MIC amplifier and test them both in time and frequency domain. Also wrote a 150 page manual on the application of EE to real life, such as Audio and Stereos, Batteries, Automobile Electrical Systems, Electrical Eng'g and Biology, Power Generation and Distribution.

5. EECS 211: Electrical Engineering II.

A second term Sophomore level course with continuing coverage of EE. This course follows EECS 210 and the students work with low Q and high Q bandpass filters both in time and frequency domain, then move on to diodes and power supplies, and finish with AM and FM generation and detection. The students also study SPICE and use it to model MOS circuits in the digital and high-frequency domain. The culmination of the course is the design and testing of an infrared headphone using frequency modulation techniques (FM).
